Installation
The Triton display may be mounted via a flush mounting clip or with
the retention bracket attached to the rear of the unit.
Choosing a location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.
The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use
the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure the chosen
location allows access for routing the cables.
Ensure that any holes cut will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualified boat builder. Before cutting a hole in a
surface, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel. Leave sufficient clearance space to connect
all relevant cables.
If multiple instruments are to be mounted in a row, ensure
measurement of space takes in to account the correct spacing
between displays.
B&Gdisplaysarehigh-contrast,anti-reectiveandareeasilyreadin
direct sunlight.
For width, height and depth requirements, please see the drawings
at the back of this manual.
Viewing angles
The Triton display offers 170 degrees viewing angle, both
horizontally and vertically. Avoid installation in locations that require
the instrument to have significant rotation of axis relative to the
deck. Users wearing polarized sun glasses may have trouble clearly
reading a screen that is at a significantly different angle to the
lenses.

Fitting with mounting clip
Use the template to cut the required size hole in the chosen
location. At the same time mark the holes to be drilled for the
fasteners. Take care to be as accurate as possible when cutting out
themountinghole-themountingclipshouldbeaclose,butnot
tight fit in the hole. If the clip requires pressure to get in to position,
there is a high chance it will distort, and not retain the display as
well as intended.
Check that the clip lines up with the markings for the fastener
mounting holes, then drill the holes. Fasten the mounting clip in
place with the supplied screws.
The display can then be fitted by pressing into the mounting
clipaperture-apositive‘click’shouldbefeltwhenthedisplay
engages with the clip. Check that all four edges of the display make
good contact with the mounting surface, and apply adequate
compression to the gasket.

14 | Installation | B&G Triton Display Installation Manual
Fitting with retention bracket
The Triton display may be mounted using only the mounting clip, or
may be secured additionally with the retention bracket. In order to
secure the bracket, adequate rear access must be available to fit the
fasteners.
Before fitting the display in to the mounting position, firmly wind
the threaded rods into the back of the Triton display by hand.
Place the display in to position and fit the retention bracket,
followed by washers and fasteners.
Multiple displays
If mounting Triton displays in a row or column, ensure that enough
space is left for the sun covers to clip on.
Even where the sun covers are not required, the correct spacing
should be used, as the displays require 3.5mm on each side when
rotating for removal from the mounting clip.
The absolute minimum space that should be allowed for each
display is:
• Width:123mm(4.84”)
• Height:120mm(4.72”)

Wiring
The B&G Triton Display can be connected to either an NMEA2000
or SimNet network. There is no separate power cable, as the unit is
powered from the network.
TherearetwoMicro-Cconnectorsoneachdisplay,allowingfor
daisy chaining, which greatly increases the ease of connecting
multiple displays that are in close proximity, and can save in cable
weight and loom size. Note this method is approved in SimNet
networks, but not in NMEA 2000 networks.
Introduction to NMEA 2000 (SimNet)
NMEA 2000 is a combined electrical and data specification,
andisbasedonCAN(ControllerAreaNetwork-SAEJ1939)bus
technology. NMEA2000 permits exchange of data and commands
between the interfaced products. NMEA2000 stipulates the use of
Micro-CandMini-Chardwareforthephysicalaspectofthenetwork.
SimNet is largely based on NMEA2000, but with added proprietary
messages, and it’s own physical cable and connector system. The
data transfer capacity of NMEA 2000 is 50 times higher than that of
theNMEA0183standardat4800baud.
Most NMEA2000 devices can be connected directly to a SimNet
backbone and SimNet devices can be connected to an NMEA
2000 network by using adapter cables. The physical layout and
limitations of the two networks are nearly identical, so the following
information is interchangeable.

• An NMEA 2000 network needs to have a terminator at each end of
the backbone. A terminator can be one of the following:
• a power cable with built in terminator
• a terminated blanking plug
• a wind transducer (terminator is in the mast head
unit as opposed to mast cable).
• CertainSimradproductshavetwoMicro-CorSimNetconnectors,

Simrad SimNet Installation Manual (20222006)
Planning and installing a network backbone
Plan the backbone carefully.
The NMEA 2000 backbone needs to run between the locations of all
products you want to install, typically in a bow to stern layout, and
be no further than 6 m from a device to be connected.
Choose from the following components to make up your NMEA

Power the network
An NMEA 2000 network requires its own 12 V DC power supply
protected by a 5 amp fuse or breaker.

¼Note: When joining an NMEA 2000 network to a SimNet network, it
